Love the animation style, voice acting, beautiful but brief cutscenes, satisfying sound effects for hitting and knocking out enemies. Reminds me of Signs of Sojourner in that the gameplay ties into the narrative in a smart and evident way. For example, the teacher enemy in this game’s special ability gives +1 movement to her teammates when she passes to them.

My perception of the game changed dramatically once I died the first time. It’s a rouge-like that doesn’t meaningfully change the gameplay, enemy variety, level design in subsequent runs. For that reason replaying through the levels was torture. And the dodgeball gameplay became tedious. I still liked all the narrative bits but I was very happy to see the conclusion of this one.
